Oh last Thursday night Youns
Bridges, colored, shot Mid Williams
The wound is painful, but not danger
Gus. Women the trouble. No arrests
Charlie Herbert, an old colored man
WAS the first one to pay his tan-yart
bill. This is commendable, when it i!
remembered that Mr.. S. D. Bolant
works for more than 700 persons.
1t would be futile attempt to men.
ton the many strangers in our town laS1
week. 1t may not be improper to mention
the name of Julius D. Dreher, Ph.D. J..
President OF Roanoke College, Va.
Mrs. Fannie Hair, wife OF B. B. Hair.
whom We announced as very ill died OF
list Tuesday. She leaves three little
daughters for the father and grand
mother to rear and care for. They have
our sympathics.
Every body has gone to the State
Fair and the remainder will 60 to-mor-
row-if the trains can haul them. ITO tick
cts were sold here this morning. Many
persons who had bought tickets could
not get aboard the trains, there being
not even standing room.
''Variety is tie spice OF life," and on
Sunday, just after the morning services
were closed, there appeared at Wise &
Urges hotel, Mr.. James Z. Livingston
and Miss Emma Shecly, who'dcsired to
be united in matrimony. The president
OF synod, Rev. S. T. Hallman, performed
the marriage rite in prcsenceof number
of the members of<ynod. No cards.
A few days since certain mana
widower, whose locks are of silver
grey, suddenly appeared in our town,
and almost as suddenly disappeared.
lie was not tramp in the true sense,
still he was walking. He made it con-
yenient to stop at Dr.. LIS and got a bo-
quet Of flowers. Think OF a man like
"B. J. R. on foot, eight miles from
home, culling flowers from-whom-
for what. This is better than giving a
''darkey" quarter TO Overtake the doc
tor at Jalapa. ALPS we'll that ends
we'll.
The Evangelical Lutheran Synod con-
vened here in Grace church on Thursday
evening, at 7.30 o'clock. There we're 35
ministers and 25 lay delegates present.
The opening was preached by the
retiring president, Rev. S. T. Hallman
after which synod proceeded to perma-
nent organization, by re-electing Rev. S.
Il. Hallman, president; Rev. S. S. Rain,
vice-president; and Rev. J. E. Berley,
secretary. The different treasurers were
all reelected and synod was ready for
business on Thursday night. This body
is composed OF staunch and Intelligent
men, who DO business in very creditable
and business-like manner. Harmony,
peace and brotherly love being the ruling
characteristic of the body in convention.
The whole business of the synod was
transactedin in two and half days. This
we regard as something unusual for like
body with similar amount of business
before it..
A convention Of the delegates OF the
Woman's Missionary Society, in connec-
ton with the synod, also convened at tie
same time. This body is composed OF the
beauty, goodness and Intelligence of the
female portion OF the church. We were
very forcibly impressed with the business
like manner in which these estimable la
dies discharged their work. There are
eleven Of these societies in the synod and
these were all represented, ian example
worthy of imitation by many of our
churches, for some were not represented
by either minister or layman.) The ex-
ecutive committee is composed Of six la
dies. These were all present. The well
come address by Miss Lillian Luther, and
the response by Miss Diercks, of Colum-
bia, were both exceedingly fine. The bus
iness and exercises of this woman'S con.
vention were Of the most interesting cha
racter. The amount of good that these
Christian women are doing will only be
revealed in eternity. Their example is
worthy Of imitation by every church in
the land.
